The latest promo even goes as far as implying iPhone users are merely following Apple mindlessly.<br \/>\nSamsung suggests its foldable phones are better than Apple\u2019s innovations<br \/>\nSamsung and Apple have regularly indulged in ad campaigns that poke fun at each other. In fact, Apple also targets Microsoft via video ads. This time around, Samsung has fired the first shot at Apple with a new ad.<br \/>\nThe advertisement is now live on X (formerly Twitter) and other social media platforms. In the minute-long video, Samsung is seen promoting its foldable phones. The South Korean tech giant has included the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.<br \/>\nSamsung shows how versatile and innovative its foldable devices are. The company has included a few scenarios where the foldable displays offer additional functionality, especially with Samsung Galaxy AI.<\/p>\n<p>If you try to fit in, you won\u2019t stand out.<br \/>\n     #UpgradeYourUpgrade with #GalaxyAI pic.twitter.com\/WtfWDFIVd2<br \/>\n\u2014 Samsung Mobile US (@SamsungMobileUS) November 21, 2024<\/p>\n<p>Why the Samsung ad may come across as offensive to iPhone users<br \/>\nSamsung keeps referencing Apple, iPhones, and the Apple Store in the ad. The ad claims Apple\u2019s iOS smartphone users are following the dictates of a mysterious character called Simon. It could be a veiled reference to Steve Jobs.<br \/>\nSamsung seems to reportedly imply, \u201ciPhone owners are all very iSheep-y\u201d. Needless to say, Samsung doesn\u2019t use the term anywhere in the video. However, the ad surely implies the same, on multiple occasions.<br \/>\nWith the ad, Samsung seems to be suggesting that Apple has abandoned its \u201cBe Different\u201d philosophy. The ad does, however, claim, \u201cSamsung says do your own thing\u201d. What the statement seems to strongly imply that if smartphone users buy a Samsung device, they are no longer \u201cfollowing Simon\u201d, and deciding to set their own path.<br \/>\nSamsung could be doing well in the smartphone market. However, Americans still prefer iPhones. Moreover, many Chinese smartphone brands have been steadily eating into Samsung\u2019s market share in developing countries. Under such circumstances, Samsung may be trying to convince iPhone users to switch to its foldable smartphones.<br \/>\nThe post Samsung promotes its foldable phones by poking fun at Apple appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Samsung-Logo-Black.png\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung has posted a new ad for its foldable smartphones but the company ridicules Apple and iPhone users in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":14081,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14080"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14080\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14082,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14080\/revisions\/14082"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
